Pokédex

The Pokédex is a handheld electronic Pokémon encyclopedia. The player has a Pokédex in their possession upon their first arrival in the game. It is one of the main objectives of the game to complete all entries of the Pokédex. (Please note that some of the in-game Pokédex entries are made by Wish_z and are NOT official.)

Contents

Use

To access the Pokédex, open the 'Menu' tab seen on the left of the screen. Click the uppermost selection in blue text called 'Pokédex' to open it. There are three stages of discovery in the Pokédex:

Unknown - The entry's name is '?????'. There is no information.

Discovered - The entry's name is registered. There is limited information.

Captured - The entry's name is registered and there is a Pokéball beside its number.

NOTE: Only Pokémon that have been owned by you (by means of capturing, roulette, trade or mystery gift) are counted in the Trainer Card's Pokédex statistic.

Accolades

There are currently three ranks acquirable from Pokédex entries .

Pokémon Trainer - 100+ Pokédex Entries

Pokémon Expert - 250+ Pokédex Entries ( Champion Badge required )

Pokémon Master - 450+ Pokédex Entries ( Champion Badge required )

You also encounter Professor Oak again in Saffron City's PokéCenter. If you talk to him with 300+ Pokédex entries, he will give you a particular Pokémon. This particular Pokémon cannot be obtained through roulette, only through the traditional way (300 Pokédex entries), or through trade. You need spare space in your party to receive it. The pokemon is a Heatran.

Interface

The Pokédex's interface is simple and easy to use. There are two main components of the interface. To the left is the scrollbar with the entire list of Pokémon entries. A search filter above makes it easier to find a specific entry. To the right is information regarding the selected entry. When complete, it displays its Name, Species, Height, Weight, Type, Description, National Number, and Recolors of that pokemon.
